Presented by the CT Bar Institute and the Litigation Section
About the Program
Recent studies have shown that, as our dependence on computers and smartphones has grown pervasively, the constant notifications and bombardment of mental stimulation these devices provide may have negative repercussions on our memory’s abilities. In the face of these growing distractions, it is increasingly beneficial for attorneys to develop and practice the vital memory skills needed to effectively remember important details, argue cases, and present to jurors and judges.
During this full day interactive program, nationally recognized memory training consultant Paul Mellor, who has presented to over 40 city, county, and state bar associations, will explain the reasons why our brains forget and teach how to expand your ability to memorize and apply these memory skills to the practice of law. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to strengthen and improve your mind’s potential.
When you’re skilled in memory, all your other skills get better.
All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Memory Skills for Lawyers, written by Paul Mellor.
